My mind … On Wednesday, while reading Michelle’s theme for GPP 13 crusade Get Gothic – I thought what a great opportunity t
o make more Frida pages for my book. So I googled right away “Gothic Lolita”. I think Frida would be more a gothic lolita than just plain gothic since she loved wearing skirts and frills. This was the first link I clicked on and Morbid sounded cool … Of course I had to use these fab gothic girls! Added Frida’s f
ace digitally. *** Meine Gedankengänge ... Am Mittwoch, als ich Michelle’s Thema für die GPP 13 crusade – Get Gothic – las, dachte ich gleich, tolle Idee, weitere Frida-Seiten für mein Buch zu machen. Hab dann gleich nach “Gothic Lolita” gegoogelt. Ich denke, dass Frida eher eine Gothic Lolita wäre. Hab dann auf diesen Link zuerst geklickt und Morbid hörte sich passend an… Natürlich mußte ich diese tollen Gotikmädels verwenden! Hab Frida’s Gesicht digital eingefügt. Erinnert mich irgendwie an Nina Hagen …
Then on Thursday I saw a woman wearing a gorgeous folkloristic brown skirt which made me think of Frida right away so here’s a Frida in autumn colors. *** Dann am Donnerstag sah ich eine Frau in einem wunderschönen braunen folkloristischen Rock und sogleich dachte ich an Frida. Hier also meine Frida in Herbstfarben.
And then this morning I read the IMT prompt which is birds. I thought I’d make some love birds (birds aren’t really my thing and I normally I just wouldn’t think of them). Added the heads digitally to Frida’s painted parrots. Thanks Michelle, Hermine and Melanie for some very fun challenges and promts!! *** Und dann las ich heute morgen den IMT-Thema Vögel. Da dachte ich, mach doch ein paar Liebesvögel (Vögel sind ja so gar nicht meins und freiwillig denke ich da nicht dran …). Hab Frida’s gemalten Papageien digital neu beköpft.
And here’s some classic gothic rock by Siouxie and the Banshees with Face to Face

Ich sitze hier schon wieder mit offenem Mund. Deine Bögen sind allesamt spitzenmäßig. Oben rechts hat es mir am meisten angetan… so ein ge…niales Blau.

I love the Frieda and Digeo parrots. They make me smile. The others are a little too scary for an old grannie like me.

These are playfully gothic, does that make sense?
It’s my first time posting at IMT – and I am having a ball looking at everyone’s work.

Hey, Bel,
Frieda is the BEST! I love what you have done with her. In fact, I really love your art so much I’ve linked your page to my blog so I can come back and visit. Hope this is ok. Happy Haunting! Ariel
